June 16, 2006--In a major policy speech at the American Constitution
Society for Law and Policy's 2006 National Convention Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton (D-NY) called for a new "Privacy Bill of Rights." Clinton
identified three basic rights:

•People have the right to know, and to correct, information which is
being kept about them;

• People have the right to know what is happening to their personal
information when they are cooperating with a business and to make decisions
about how it is used;

• And in a democracy, people have the right and the obligation to hold
their government and the private sector to the highest standards of care
with the information they gather.

She said she will introduce legislation, the Privacy Rights and Oversight
for Electronic and Commercial Transactions Act of 2006 (the PROTECT Act),
to ensure those rights.
